NASHVILLE, Tenn. – (July 2, 2014) – AMSURG Corp. (NASDAQ: AMSG) today announced that it has completed its concurrent public offerings of 9,775,000 shares of its common stock at a public offering price of $45.00 per share and 1,725,000 shares of its 5.250% Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, Series A-1, at a public offering price of $100 per share. Included in these shares are 1,275,000 shares of common stock and 225,000 shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, Series A-1, sold pursuant to the underwriters’ exercise in full of their options to purchase additional shares in each offering. The common stock and mandatory convertible preferred stock offerings were separate public offerings made by separate prospectus supplements. The net proceeds from the common stock offering and Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, Series A-1, offering were approximately $422.3 million and $167.3 million, respectively, in each case after issuance discounts and commissions. AMSURG intends to use the net proceeds from these offerings, together with shares of its common stock to be issued in the recently announced transaction between AMSURG and Sheridan Healthcare, Inc. (the “Sheridan Transaction”), a private offering of senior unsecured notes due 2022, additional debt financing and cash on hand, to finance the consideration to be paid to consummate the Sheridan Transaction, as well as repay borrowings under AMSURG’s existing credit facility, repay the outstanding balance of its senior secured notes due 2020 and pay fees and expenses related to the Sheridan Transaction. If for any reason the Sheridan Transaction does not close, then AMSURG expects to use the net proceeds from these offerings to repay outstanding indebtedness and for general corporate purposes.
